Located on Florida's Space Coast, just north of Miami, far south of Jacksonville and east of Orlando and Tampa, the State Farm Melbourne Beaches Music Marathon Weekend makes for a perfect warm winter running destination for runners of all ages and levels. The Melbourne Music Marathon typically attracts a slightly more serious runner than the previous month's Disney Marathon, but the course is still designed for fun. The weather is fine and the course is flat as a pancake, making for some spectacular PR's.
